Classification

Classified according to the purpose and structure of the contact 

(1) Normally open button 

(2) Normally closed button 

(3) Compound button classified according to operation mode and protection mode Buttons can be classified according to operation mode and protection mode, common button categories and characteristics: 

(1) Open type: suitable for embedded and fixed on the panel of switch board, control cabinet or console. 

(2) Protective type: with a protective shell, which can prevent the internal button parts from being mechanically damaged or people touching the live parts.
